WHY Lancer?

[bd-850]

just hyjacking my thread. lol i dont mind. just aslong as others answer my question

Got it for looks, value, features, safety, looks, size, fuel economy, looks, new 2.4L option and did I mention looks?

It's very simple - terrific engine, easy and extremely comfortable handling and full safety package - ESC, ABS, TC + full set of airbags. And all of this for only 23500$... I've paid for my cj lncer vr on 30.01 during the sell of all '08 stock, so for this money it was unbeatable... All other Japanese cars couldn't get so close to the ratio price/features...

needed to upgrade from the mirage!

the platinum caught my eye. but the vrx features blew it out of the water for practically the same price!! not to mention the 2.4L :P:P

Test drove WRX, gti and R32.
Ralliart put them all to shame.

- No other car can compete in its price range.
- One of the safest cars on the road, scored 5 star ANCAP and held its five star rating after ANCAP increased their standards. This showed me they didn't just make it safe to meet requirements.
- 5 by 10 years Warranty.
- Looks are best in class IMO
- SST.

I was sold on the EVO X concept. Work was due to upgrade my work car and they were looking at another dodgey falcon ute. I turned to the owner and asked if I was to purchase my own vechile ould they pay all expenses related to it. Unfortunately I couldn't postpone the purchase till the release of the EVO so I got the VRX. Then I got the RA Love the look.

like the looks... and loved the way mums drove on the road just wanted a lil more power....

[nutterbug]

The looks, took a VR for a test drive and was blown away. We had trouble deciding on a trim level then figured what the heck! First brand spanka, let's go all out and get the VRX! The keyless entry is a major bonus for me, now I don't have to root around in my handbag for my keys

This is my third Lancer I've had a CB (91) a CE (96) and now the MY09 VRX.
It's the best all round package for the price and cheap to own and run
They are comfortable roomy safe and so nicely styled
Mitsu got it so right with the CJ - LOVE THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife owns an 09 VRX as well

It's gotta be one of the few cars under $30K that you can mod without ppl saying 'why would you bother?'. Was originally looking to get a new Civic but didn't see it having much potential and also the thought of a velour interior made me queezy.

[Mizta B]

Velour ?
I can understand it making you queezy mate!
Gotta admit the CJ VRX doesn't lack much standard for the price range
I think it's pretty hard to beat for value for money

Was looking at the Lancer, and the Honda Civic and City.

Lancer won because it was a good size in the cabin, bigger boot than the Civic (but not the City), drove well, and of course liked the looks. Safety features are great too, just wish could have got the side and curtin airbags.

Looks - clearly the most gorgeous in the economy sedan class.
Transmission - CVT definitely works better than 4-speed auto in the Corolla.
Suspension - fully independent that rides more nicely than the Civic.
Rear seat space - something lacking in the new Mazda3 which was also included in the shortlist.
Features - $28K got me sat nav, DVD player, Bluetooth, oceans of airbags, ABS, EBD, ESC and traction control.

It's a load of goodies in a handsome, versatile package.

Well, for me i was really looking at the exterior side of it. Rims was one of the factors which i looked at and after comparing honda and mazda, none of them would throw in an 18inch within the VRX's price range. Extra savings in that sense. Not to mention the drooping look from the front and the "ANGRY EYES"!!! Do not really need to make drastic exterior mods. Overall, you want a family car you got it, you want a sports car you got it, performance wise is entirely at your disposal ($$). So I GOT IT! Cheers!
